07:25She just gives us a buzzer, and we're prepared.
07:29Say, Moe, what's all these fellas here?
07:32Oh, that's an idea of Fluff.
07:35She thinks we're going on a long trip.
07:38You going to take her with you?
07:40Well, I haven't made up my mind yet.
07:43Listen, don't you think three of us will be too many?
07:48Three of us?
07:49Are you stupid?
08:02Well, what do you want, Shoyster?
08:05Murphy, I'll thank you to remember my name is Jay Blackstone Springham.
08:08I'm a practicing lawyer before the bar of this state.
08:12Well, don't worry, Springer, my boy.
08:14You'll soon be this bar.
08:16They'll have to catch me.
08:17What I mean is you always speak of the worst.
08:20And now, look, Murphy, I'd like to visit with my client, Pawn.
08:23Well, well, well, what now?
08:26You mean you're not here to spring another prisoner, Springer?
08:29Murphy, I think I resent your tone.
08:32Well, if you do, then I feel just fine.
08:35Come around now.
08:36Come along with me.
08:40Pawn!
08:42There's your client.
08:44It's about time you showed up, Shoyster.
08:47I suppose if you call me Shoyster, it isn't so bad.
08:49After all, you pay me for the privilege, which is more than this gentleman does.
08:54I, uh, I gathered you want to talk to him.
08:57Of course, of course.
08:59Open up the cell.
09:00With the greatest pleasure.
09:05I'll, uh, call you when I'm through.
09:09My, oh, my.
09:11A perfect combination.
09:13Birds of a feather.
09:15Ah, Springer, my boy.
09:16I'm looking forward to the day when I can put you in a cell all by yourself.
09:23Lovely chap, that, Murphy.
09:26Oh, crossword puzzle.

09:54Thanks, Murphy.
09:55That's it.
09:56Gorilla.

09:57Hey, come on now.
09:58Come on, leave it be.
09:59Get one of your own.
10:00All right, all right.
10:01It's all yours.
10:02What are you doing here anyhow?
10:03Looking for fresh to sleep overnight?
10:05I know you'd let me sleep here overnight, but I'm not so sure you'd let me out of here
10:09in the morning.
10:11Oh, my boy, you're quite a mind reader.
10:14Well, where's Mr. Tracy?
10:15Oh, he's busy on a case.
10:16Yeah?
10:17What's the case about?
10:18I don't know.
10:19I don't know.
10:19It's something to do with this guy Pawn that's here in jail.
10:22Oh?
10:23I thought I'd come down here and ask him a few questions.
10:25Come on, take me down the scene.
10:26No, no.
10:27You'll have to stand in line.
10:29What do you mean?
10:29He's being visited by that Shister lawyer, Mr. J. Blackstone Springer.
10:33What if you want?
10:34You can talk to him next door.
10:36Looks like I'll just have to wait a while.
10:38Yes, you know.
10:39Gorilla.
10:40I had Pekingese down there.
10:43You were close.
10:46You're sure you're telling me the truth?
10:48Yeah, that's exactly what happened.
10:51Forget all that.
10:52Forget all that and tell them just what I told you to say.
10:56I guess that's all for today.
10:58Oh, guard.
11:00Guard.
11:02Guard.
11:03There's that Springer car.
11:05Well, I guess I'll go get him now.
11:10It certainly took you long enough.
11:19Springer me, boy.
11:20I was just wanting you to get used to your jail cell.
11:23Because you'll be having one of your own some of these days.
11:26Cheerful kid, isn't he?
11:28Well, goodbye, Pawn.
11:29And don't forget what I told you.
11:31Well out, Jifus.
11:34That horrible word.
11:40Well, well.
11:42Sam Ketchum, how do you do?
11:44And how is your partner in crime, Mr. Dick Tracy?
11:47If you mean my partner against crime,
11:50he's quite well, thank you.
11:51And I suppose you've been giving your client instructions?
11:56Very, very funny.
11:58Very funny indeed.
12:30Well, how are we doing?
12:58There's the beginning.
12:59Oh, boy, does that look...
13:03No, no, no, no.
13:03I wouldn't touch him yet.
13:04They're not quite dry.
13:06I could have turned out more,
13:07but I had a little difficulty getting the press to operate right.
13:09Oh.
13:10Well, where's the plates?
13:11Mould said I should get them.
13:12Right here.
13:13I wrapped them up for you.
13:14Oh, you wrapped them up, huh?
13:15So you wouldn't get any on your hands.
13:16There's ink on your hands.
13:17Run your clothes.
13:18That's much nice of you.
13:19Well, come on.
13:20Follow me.
13:20Follow me.
13:20Well, Mould Mould isn't here.
13:33I guess we just have to wait.
13:34I have a date with a very charming young lady tonight.
13:39Mountain, why don't you just show me out, and I'll come back in the morning.
13:43You wouldn't want me to keep a nice, charming young lady waiting, would you?
13:46No.
13:47I wouldn't want to keep a name waiting myself.
13:49I'll just leave the plates here, and show you out through the North Tunnel.
13:52Come on.
13:54All right.
14:03Where's Williams?
14:04Still working down there?
14:05No, I took him out on the street.
14:07Said he had a date tonight, and didn't want to be late.
14:09But there's the plate.
14:16Wait a minute.
14:23You ought to die for this, Mountain.
14:25Well, what's the matter, Mould?
14:26He switched plates on you.
14:28He's got the real plates, and all I've got is a couple of pieces of metal.
14:32Oh, gosh, no, Mould.
14:33What can I do?
14:33What can you do?
14:35You can go and get those plates or cut your throat before I do.
14:38Well, I'll get him.
14:39Wait a minute.
14:41Lucky that I remembered that address where Wiggles is rooming.
14:45Now, here.
14:46You take that, and you bring those plates back.
14:49I'll bring them both back.
14:55Stupid.
14:58Here are the files you ask for, Mr. Tracy.
15:00Oh, thanks, Gillis.
15:13Hello, Eden.
15:14Tracy.
15:16Gillis just gave me all the papers on Mould and Mountain.
15:19Well, there's not much here, but you have the full description of them both.
15:22Yes, right.
15:23Yes, that's it.
15:24Now, see that every patrol and motorcycle policeman gets a complete description.
15:27These men must be picked up immediately.
15:30All right, on site.
15:30Okay.
15:32Okay.
15:32Goodbye.
15:32Goodbye.
15:49Who are you?
15:50What do you want?
15:51What do you want?
16:08Here.
16:09Here.
16:09Take them.
16:10Take these.
16:11What's the matter, Wiggles?
16:14Well, it's Shanks.
16:15It's a joker.
16:17What are you doing?
16:18What's the trouble, anyway?
16:19What do you got there?
16:21Nothing.
16:22Seems to me you get pretty excited about nothing.
16:25You in trouble or something?
16:26Maybe I can help you.
16:27You know, two heads are better than one.
16:30Now, come on.
16:30What's your trouble?
16:31We've been friends for years.
16:34Maybe I better tell you.
16:36I've got the Spike Derville engravings.
16:38Spike Derville?
16:39Yeah.
16:40Well, he was the greatest, the greatest engraver that ever lived.
16:43Or died.
16:44Yeah.
16:45Speaking of engravings, you're pretty close to Derville yourself.
16:49Well, some people will say that.
16:51Hey, can I see the plates?
16:52I really admire a work of art.
16:54Yeah.
16:57Oh, that's Spike Derville.
17:01Now, there was really a master craftsman.
17:03This must have taken him at least six months.
17:06What are you going to do with these?
17:08Print up a batch of money for myself, get out of the country, and then retire.
17:11Well, where are you going to print this stuff?
17:13You got a press, any ink, any paper?
17:15No, but I'll get it.
17:17Now, look, Wheels, you don't want to work this operation alone.
17:19The plates are hot.
17:21Obviously, you just hiked it on yourself.
17:23You're packing to get out of here, so obviously there's a lot of people on your trail.
17:26The cops and the mobs.
17:28Yeah, you're right.
17:30Now, don't worry about the split.
17:31We'll get together on terms.
17:33I've got the perfect hideout.
17:35I'll just clean it up a bit and see that everything's clear.
17:37You just finish packing, and I'll pick you up in about 10 or 15 minutes.
17:41Yeah, you're right.
17:42I need all the help I can get.
17:44You'll get it.
17:45What are you doing?
17:45That's what I get for trusting a crook.
18:02I'll pick you up in about 10 minutes.
18:32I'll pick you up in about that, but Wheels did.
18:33Now, what Wheels do?
18:34He pulled a switch on Mountain and stole the durable plates.
18:38I thought Mountain was going to keep an eye on him.
18:40Yeah, but he let him go.
18:42Wheels told him he had a date and had to leave early.
18:45That's a dumb clunkhead.
18:48There goes that million bucks.
18:50Oh, but don't you worry.
18:51I know where Wheels lived, and I sent Mountain over to bring him back.
18:55And I'm pretty sure he'll bring wheels and the plates.
19:00I better put this stuff away.
19:03What's that, Mo?
19:05That's some of the finest money that's ever been made outside of the United States Mint.
19:12Boy, that's the nicest thing I ever touched in my whole life.
19:15Don't you worry, baby.
19:17When we get those plates back, there's going to be an awful lot more where this came from.
19:22Mo, you say the nicest thing.
19:24What are you trying to scare a fellow for?
19:48Ah, you shouldn't be so jumpy.
19:50You know, I almost didn't get upstairs this time.
19:52Why?
19:52There's a real big guy downstairs looking at the names in all the mailboxes, but I sneak past him.
19:57That's the mom.
19:57He's after me.
19:58Ha-ha!
19:59The mountain comes to Muhammad.
20:01Get the car with him, will you?
20:03He's after me because I got these plates.
20:05Well, it's different.
20:05What are you going to do?
20:06I don't know.
20:07See you later, chump.
20:22Hello, wheels.
20:24Hello.
20:24I suppose you're wondering why I'm here.
20:26Yeah, why are you here?
20:27You took something to long to the mall, and I came to get it back.
20:31I don't know what you mean.
20:32Those plates.
20:33You pulled a switch on me, you dirty rat.
20:36Now, where's the good one?
20:37Quick!
20:38I don't know what you're talking about.
20:39Look, I have no time to talk.
20:42If I don't bring those plates and you back to the mall, I ain't going to live long.
20:46And if you don't stop playing around like this, you won't either.
21:01That's them.
21:12Now, who are you?
21:18Now, look here.
21:19I'm going to do it.
21:19Shut up!
21:42Well, men, every report we have from each department all lead to the same place.
21:47Mountain has been seen in the same neighborhood, in a back lot behind the hole-in-the-wall restaurant.
21:51Now, every division has agreed on that.
21:53Evidently, there's been a crime ring operating in that section of the city.
21:56Now, that means we'll have to have more men in that area until the situation is cleared up.
22:00Meanwhile, Sam and I have a few things to follow through on ourselves.
22:03All right.
22:04Tracy just gave you your instructions.
22:06I want to stop this plan on an area saturation basis.
22:08Right.
22:09Well, Tracy, looks like we have our objectives pinpointed.
22:13Yes, Sam.
22:13This is a constant war against crime, and we've got to plan our moves carefully.
22:21Just wanted to make sure I had enough bullets.
22:23Don't worry.
22:23When you start shooting, you don't waste any.
22:39All right, drop it.
22:50Hold it.
22:51Well, we've got you dead to rights.
22:52Not yet.
22:54Come on, brother.
22:54Why don't you go along now and stop bothering me?
23:24I just dropped in to see if I could pick up a little business.
23:27Well, by God, I've heard about shysters and ambulance chasers, but this certainly hits
23:31a new low, when a lawyer will walk right into the jail to try to drum up a little trade.
23:36No offense, Murphy.
23:37No offense at all.
23:38But any time you can dig me up a little business, it'll be greatly appreciated on a cash basis,
23:44of course.
23:44Look now.
23:46People have insulted me before and have called me in need, but never once has anyone ever
23:51hinted that I'd take a bribe.
23:52Now, look you.
23:53If you don't get out of here and quick, I'm going to report you to the Bar Association.
23:58As a matter of fact, I'm going to report you to the Bar Association anyway on general
24:02principles.
24:03Take it easy, Murphy.
24:04I was only joking.
24:07Well, look at the parade.
24:09What have we here?
24:10Looks like we might have a little business.
24:11Springham, I want you to get me out of here and fast.
24:13Anything for a friend.
24:15I can't pay you today.
24:16I'll have you left to wait for a day or two.
24:18Pardon me, stranger.
24:19And now, what can I do for you, sir?
24:20I am Jay Blackstone Springham, the eminent criminal lawyer.
24:23Okay, Murphy.
24:24Let's book these men and get it over with.
24:25Now, just a moment.
24:26Every man has a right to speak to his lawyer.
24:28That's one of his legal rights.
24:29Well, before you waste your time, I want to tell you that Mountain was shot resisting
24:32arrest, held on suspicion of kidnapping wheels here, and among other things, he held
24:36me prisoner against my will.
24:38All right, shyster.
24:39You still want to take the case?
24:40Uh, I'm sorry, gentlemen.
24:42It seems I have an important engagement elsewhere.
24:45Very nice having met you all.
24:48Good day, gentlemen.
24:49Good day.
24:50Well, I suppose you want these fellas to find a way in the usual place.
24:53Oh, yes.
24:54All right.
24:55Come on, you.
24:56Get around with me.
24:56Come on.
24:57Get around.
25:04Well, I said it before, and I'll say it again.
25:07You never waste a bullet.
25:09Well, when you shot Mountain, you put a hole clean through his leg.
25:12Yes, sir, I'd say you are the best marksman on the force.
25:17Tell me, Sam, how did it feel when Mountain threw wheels at you?
25:20See, that Mountain was a pretty big fella.
25:22But between you and me, when Dick Tracy's around, I'm afraid of nothing.
25:27Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
25:28Ha, ha, ha.
